I want to splice on a XR front end, wheel and swing arm rear wheel.
Still wondering what fuel tank, seat and guards to run. Need to build it as cheap as possible. I will not be butchering this bike as will be able to return it to CB400 Four at the end if I wanted too.
<o:p></o:p>
When I first looked at it, it is very small. And quite light. I will keep posting as I progress. <o:p></o:p><o:p>

I had an old KTM muffer I had laying around in the garage <o:p></o:p>

Looks too modern and losing that classic look. Let try a R80G/S Single seat??<o:p></o:p>

There will be lots of trying and looking and binning.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I have a set of alloy Krauser pannier and topbox frames somewhere in the BMW parts in the shed and will probably use them with plastic gerrycan panniers. Plus a home made topbox.

OldDog is building up and old TS250 which is below and tHEtREV is coming with his RZ350 Dirtbike.

So if anyone has some old XR bits I would greatly appreciate your assistance:norton

viz,

The idea is to get as many old bikes out of shed and back on the road for a bit of fun and a good cause.
So YES the FJ would qualify, would like to see what you do with it. do they make a 160mm wide knobbie :D

Been doing some measuring around the rear end.

Anyone have a XR who can measure the swing arm for me?

The width of the swing arm at the pivot is 200mm.

The 400's swingarm length is around 450mm, how long is an XR swing arm?

Pezz, man, yer not helping..... I want so badly to stuff a 500cc ninja mill into my KLR650....but my wife would kill me. I do have an XR250 frame sans engine....think a ninja 500 engine would make an old XR scoot?:evil
